This work aims at distinguishing pro and
anti-inflammatory (M1 and M2) macrophages with
relaxometry and QSM using the degree of phagocytosis of
gadolinium liposomes and superparamagnetic iron oxide
particles as imaging biomarker. At relaxometry and QSM,
M1 macrophages showed higher R2*and susceptibility,
indicating higher particle uptake, as confirmed by
confocal microscopy. These results show that it is
feasible to distinguish between M1 and M2 macrophages
with relaxometry and QSM, making phagocytosis of
magnetic particles a potential MRI biomarker of
inflammation.
